Mutants&Masterminds RPG Campaigns:Main Page

Mutants and Masterminds, sometimes abbreviated "M&M" or "MnM", is a superhero tabletop roleplaying game by Green Ronin Publishing based on the d20 System by Wizards of the Coast, but includes substantial changes. The system is designed to be very generic and open (within the confines of the superhero genre), allowing players to create virtually any type of hero or villain desired. It has quickly become an extremely popular game among players of superhero roleplaying games. M&M (aka Mutants and Masterminds) is "the world's greatest superhero RPG"! This role-playing game is published by Green Ronin Publishing. Enjoy the M&M Wiki, the M&M "Headquarters" or visit the M&M Forum - "the Atomic Think Tank" for much more than I can give.

The game is a prime competitor for Champions (role-playing game)|Champions, sharing a number of similar qualities (such as a generic approach) but different play styles and rules philosophies. In general, Champions is a more detailed and rules-heavy game, while Mutants and Masterminds is faster playing, favoring playability over detail.

Published Settings

The core M&M ist Edition book doesn't come with a default setting, but does include a adventure that takes place in the Freedom City setting. Strangely, though, the example characters that players can use in this adventure are generally associated with another M&M setting: META-4. This, combinded with little information from Green Ronin means that its' unclear whether they are separate or a combined setting. For our purposes here, we'll deal with them as separate settings.

• Freedom City: A four-color, city-based setting by Steve Kenson that is filled with elements that are similar to the great icons and concpets of classic comic books. Freedom City is presented in a hard-back sourcebook of its' own. Foes of Freedom details more villains that inhabit the city and Time of Crisis is a adventure module that sends the players beyond the city limits.

• META-4: This setting, by Eric Mona, was finally detail in the Crooks! sourcebook. It has been compared to the better parts of 1990's comic books.

• Nocturnals: Based on Dan Brereton's comic book series, the setting book was written by him, with the assistance of Chris Pramas. It is a horror/pulp-based setting.

• Noir: Written by Christopher McGlothlin, Noir is based on classic Film Noir films. The world of Noir is a dark one, where heroes are flawed and the friend you trust may be your greatest enemy.

Superlink Settings

Green Ronin licences the use of M&M through the Superlink Program. Under the license, another publisher can produce their own material (such as campaign settings) using the M&M system.

• Omlevex: A Silver Age setting book that also acts as an "official" RPG book for a ficticious comic book company.
